Kids on Stage Game (Creative Kidstuff 800-353-0710). This game is
excellent for generalizing pretend drills. It,s a children's charade game. Each
child draws a card, which has both the word and picture of what he needs to
pretend. The other children have to guess what the child is pretending. There
is movement along a path and a spinner but its not really a competitive game.
We put the items on the cards in the formal drill so that they could be
practiced before the game.
